WEBINAR WITH FIDA QISHTA – FILMMAKER FROM GAZA

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Fida Qishta has just returned from several months in Gaza.  She will speak about current conditions there and share clips from footage filmed after her arrival and following the May 2021 Israeli military attacks on the Strip.  

 

Fida was born and raised in Rafah in Gaza.  In her previous award-winning documentary, Where Should the Birds Fly, she told the story of 10-year-old Mona Samouni in the aftermath of Israeli Operation Cast Lead (2008-2009).  Join the webinar Saturday to hear how Fida has found Gaza twelve years later, as the Israeli imposed land, air, and sea blockade continues into its fifteenth year.  This event is hosted by US Boats to Gaza, one of ten national campaigns in the Gaza Freedom Flotilla coalition that sail to break the illegal Israeli naval blockade of Gaza.  The Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, with support from the Madison-Rafah Sister City Project, is proud to have lent support for Fida Qishta’s return to Gaza and to the launch of her newest film project.
